Letter from the board
Friends of the Armanino Foundation,What does it mean to Armanino team members when the Armanino Foundation supports the nonprofits they care so much about? As I review the emails we received throughout the year, I think I’ve found the answer:
• This is the best email I have received today. I’m sure this grant will be of great help for them.
• I’m stoked for the opportunity to nominate an NFP!
• We are and will be forever grateful.
• I wanted to let you know that my husband and I had the most amazing trip. We are so glad that we had the opportunity to do this volunteer vacation.
I’m inspired by the profound optimism and deep compassion our team members have for others. With your support, we’ve accomplished so much in three short years, but the excitement is just beginning. The Armanino Foundation will invite corporate clients to work alongside us at nonprofits this year during our annual Great Give. We’ve expanded our Volunteer Vacations program to include six destinations across the globe. And 2020 will be the year that we work to achieve B Corporation certification, joining a global movement of people using business as a force for good.
The Armanino Foundation exists to empower our team members, giving you easy access to programs that touch the lives of others. Visit armaninofoundation.org to get inspired today!
Gratefully yours,

50th Anniversary Grants Giveaway To celebrate Armanino’s 50 years in business, the Armanino Foundation coordinated a $50,000 Grants Giveaway on December 12, 2019. We crowdsourced the selection of the six grant recipients from our team members. You cast more than 1,100 votes for 100 different charities in the areas of education, animal welfare, the arts, and health and social services. We’re delighted to share the winners’ reactions upon hearing they were awarded one of these significant grants.
“The timing for this $10,000 grant couldn’t be more perfect! We just launcheda new campaign to build seven teaching labs for STEM and the Armanino Foundation
is our first donor.” -Brie Griset Smith, Discovery Cube Orange County
“Thanks a million for helping us say ‘yes’ to even more children, many of whom are experiencing live theater for the very first time. It means so much to be recognized as a worthy organization.” -Sandra Robertson, Dallas Children’s Theater
“What a great early Christmas present! This donation will help us to fill a major need for green space and recreational areas in downtown Los Angeles.” -Scott Ito, Little Tokyo Service Center
“It says so much about your firm and your employees that you chose to celebrate your 50th anniver-sary by giving back to the community. This is so exciting – to make a difference in a child’s life with music by providing scholarships to young musicians!” -Dr. Barry Knezek, Lone Star Wind Orchestra
“We’ll use these funds for food, litter and medical expenses. We don’t turn away any animalsfor health issues – we’re in it for life.” -Janice Frazier, 13 Street Cat Rescue
“We’ve never experienced such a great surprise! We will use the funds to create the next generation of people who will see the arts.” -Zachary Reeve Davidson, A Noise Within
The Great Give | Dollars for Doers
The Great GiveArmanino employees volunteered more than 6,700 hours at one of more than 50 nonprofit organizations across the country for the Great Give in 2019.
